Mercurey Michel Juillot (Domaine) 1985

Michel Juillot took over the domaine in 1963 and multiplied its operating area six fold in 20 years. Thanks to numerous experiences of trial and error, he eventually found his way and his recipe for quality. His son Laurent, after having travelled around the New World, returned in the 1990s and began to move the vineyard towards responsible and sustainable farming. In recent years, the installation of two meteorological stations has provided the Juillots with constant monitoring, making it possible to minimise the vagaries of the climate and spray less. This family success has greatly increased the prestige of the Mercurey appellation and he now exports to 26 countries.

Mercurey Village is élevaged in oak barrels for 10 months (with 20% new wood). Its nose asserts a certain richness, with citrus aromas and mineral notes. The palate has a great balance between mellowness and acidity. There is an interesting aromatic persistence.
